O'Donnell, who started dating Rounds in 2011, tied the knot in 2012. The comedian, who suffered a heart attack and her partner Rounds, who was diagnosed with desmoids tumors, had earlier revealed their decision to have a child.
"I will gladly stay home. I want to try to work hard at getting myself healthy, on Mich and I getting started and maybe finding a baby," O'Donnell told People magazine.
